Answer to Question 1

A
Balance is the process of gradually allowing independent behaviors in a dependent situation. Independence must be gained in increments to avoid overwhelming the patient. The distracters are false, since they do not describe the basis of balance.

Answer to Question 2

A
TCAs inhibit the reuptake of both norepinephrine and serotonin and because of their nonselectivity produce many side effects. The other options are incorrect statements about the action of TCAs.
